REPSONSE:

go right ahead and be my guest also do your home work
there is a guy with a speed shop out in cal. that has
a 2000 z-28 with only 600hp with a recorded top speed
of 246 on the salt flats so you really dont know what
your talking about


I love how he didn't address my statements and immediately
started talking about someone else's car, who $1000 says, isn't
anywhere close to stock.


ME:

This will be my last email because
I'm not going to get into a pissing contest
with you, but there's a guy on LS1Tech
who lives close to you who's called
you and wants to check out the car today.
If it what you say and he thinks it can do
207 MPH, then I stand corrected. BUT,
this guy in CA obviously had a stripped down
car, probably no interior to speak of, a beefed
up suspension that could take that kind of abuse,
an aerodynamics package that would hold the car
on the road(salt flat) and ***** to go that fast.
I'm not trying to drill you, but strictly out of curiousity
where did you find a stretch of road long enough and who
clocked you and how?

I hope you do sell your car, but I'm just letting you know
you need to be prepared for a LOT of skepticism from
people just like me who do know what they're talking about.

Good luck.


I'm afraid to even talk about camshafts, headers, stronger internals, etc., etc. with this guy. He might start giving me examples of how fast the Space Shuttle flies

ask him what tires he was running when he made his 200mph+ adventure. most street tires would heat up and melt, and im sure his diff/tranny fluid over heated since he doesnt have any coolers listed....

That poor T/A! It looks like a frog! Don't hate the T/A, hate the owner. He's watched Fast and Furious way too many times.
I pity that old blue muscle car in the background of some of his pics. Who knows what this **** has in store for it.
He probably took off his Super Mega Bling Spinner 3000 rims when he decided to sell the car.
And that "Naaaawzz" set up he has... He's sooo cool!

him-
first of all if you dont believe me i dont give a rats
*** second you dont have the same mods cause i custom
tuned the computer myself personally remapping the
whole system so it is impossible for you to have the
same set up third its a proven fact that camaros have
a much much higher drag coificient then trans am's and
finally its all about gearing and having enough clear
straight road to achieve it if you know the figures on
it its not really that hard as long as the set up is
correct also do your research there are quite a few
people who have hit over 200mph in f-body cars so know
what your talking about before you start barking
orders

him-
nj parkway down through toms river nj floored all out
from one toll both to then next it took around 20
miles for it to get up the speed and if you think its
that hard then go find the formulas to figure out the
gearing you need to do it yourself grow some ***** and
try it now stop wasting my time if you dont believe
like i said i dont care but instead of wasting my time
waste your own go online get the formulas for figuring
out speed through gearing and tire diameter and figure
it out on your own like i did then go do oh yeah and
if you have proper speed rated tires on your car like
i did i causes absolutely no problems what so ever so
who ever the idiot was who told you your tires would
melt needs to pull his head out of his own *** and
stop hating on other poeple i did all my homework and
went out and did it

Let's put this guy up to it and see if he'll do it. Let's also have someone pretend to be interested in the car and check his "remapped" computer. Plus take a look and see what tires he has on there.

Let's shred this ignorant *****.

Damn I guess if you "remap" your computer then that is like and extra 250hp huh This guy is such a tool. Also I gurantee like said before. I bet he had some B.S. spinner's on that car and just took them off to sell it.
